Stuttgart vs Maccabi Tel Aviv Prediction & Betting Tips (11 December)

With its 9 points capitalized during the first 5 days, Stuttgart is in an excellent position to hope to go beyond the league phase of this Europa League. The German club is in 12th place in the rankings and is only one point behind the top 8, directly synonymous with qualification for the 1/8 finals. Dominated away by FC Basel 2-0 and Fenerbahce 1-0, the Swabians were otherwise able to get rid of Celta Vigo 2-1, Feyenoord 2-0 and Go Ahead Eagles 0-4 on the last day. Otherwise, VfB is fighting for a place in the top 4 in the Bundesliga but it will face Bayern Munich next weekend, a week after its 2-1 defeat by Hamburg. In the meantime, Stuttgart will travel to Bochum in the German Cup.

On the other side of the median, Maccabi Tel Aviv is far from meeting the demands of this European competition. Much too weak to have ambitions in this Europa League, Maccabi is only in 35th position in this league phase with only one small point on the clock and only OGC Nice is doing worse for the moment. This single point was gleaned following its draw against PAOK Salonika 0-0 on the first day but then, this Israeli team suffered setbacks against Dinamo Zagreb 1-3, Midtjylland 0-3, Aston Ville 2-0 and finally against OL 0-6. Otherwise, in its own championship, this team is in 2nd place in the standings behind Hapoel Beer Shiva who they will face next weekend, a few days after hosting Hapoel Haifa. 

Absent for a long time, Bosnian striker Demirovic (5 TCC goals) will not be present for this poster. The other long-term injured are Dieh and Keitel, as well as defenders Hendricks (8 Bundesliga matches) and Jaquez (5 matches) are also expected to remain in the pits this week. On the other hand, the Swabians should once again count on the services of German international Undav, who has scored 7 times this season in the league and once in the Europa League. The Portuguese Tomas (3 goals in the Bundesliga) and the Moroccan El Khannouss (2 goals, 3 assists, 3 goals in C3) should also appear in the group. A priori, Maccabi should go to Germany deprived of central defender Camara (holder) and Israeli international Gropper who has played very little this season.

To this we add that winger Varela has joined the infirmary and that his replacement, Jehezekl will be suspended after being sent off against OL. Among the players to follow in this team, we can of course cite the Israeli international Dor Peretz (8 goals all competitions combined) who is however still chasing his first goal in the tournament. The young striker Abu Farkhi is the only Maccabi player to have found fault in this competition after the first 5 days.
